Excerpt from A Study of Association in Insanity In this investigation we have followed a modified form of the method developed by Sommer,1 the essential feature of which is the statistical treatment of results obtained by uniform technique from a large number of cases. The stimulus consists of a Series of one hundred spoken words, to each of which the subject is directed to react by the first word which it makes him think of. In the selection of the stimulus word's, sixty-six of which were taken from the list suggested by a Sommer, we have taken care to avoid such words as are especially liable to call up personal experiences, and have so arranged the words as to separate any two which bear an Obviously close rela tion to one another. After much preliminary experimentation we adopted the following list of words. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
